Cold pressing refers to oils obtained through pressing fruit or seeds with a modern steel press, such as those used at Proteco's operation in Kingaroy, Queensland. Although pressing produces heat through friction, the oil seeds are not precooked and consequently the oil is considered cold pressed - in contrast to large scale solvent extraction and refining operations which strip the oil of natural antioxidants, vitamins and flavour. The solvent extraction method is used to produce most common cooking oils found in supermarkets.

Cold pressed oils retain all of their flavour, aroma, and nutritional value, making these oils great for all cooking and skin care requirements. They contain zero grams of trans fatty acids and are naturally cholesterol-free.

Flaxseed oil freshly pressed. Australia's most trusted brand of premium Omega 3. Lovely mild nutty taste, Australian grown. Twice the omega 3 of fish oil. Packaged with nitrogen in a food grade glass bottle to retain natural goodness. A highly polyunsaturated natural oil, and the richest source of the valuable Omega 3 essential fatty acid (EFA). The nutty taste makes it great to drizzle over salads or mixing with cereals and cottage cheese.

Do not heat this oil or you will lose the Omega 3 benefits and develop a bitter flavour.

Flaxseed oil that tastes like flax oil should. Store refrigerated for a longer lasting fresh taste. For long storage, it's suitable to keep in freezer. It won't set hard, just stays a little thick until defrosted.
